Bug Description
If I terminate a command line application with SIGQUIT (e.g. with Ctrl+\), apport generates a crash report. I'm not sure it's very useful to be asking for reports of these, because a SIGQUIT is almost certainly user generated. (Also I seem to be getting a coredump in this case even when ulimit -c is set to 0..).
To post a comment you must log in.
apport is called whenever the kernel would create a core dump, and currently SIGQUIT is in the set of signals which trigger a core dump.
However, I agree that apport should just ignore these.
